Description

Venetian Red Oxide (140m) is a warm, earthy watercolour pigment celebrated for its deep, rich red hue, reminiscent of the iconic colours found in Venetian architecture and landscapes. With its slightly brown undertones, this pigment captures the essence of rustic clay, brick, and aged stone, making it ideal for portraying warm, natural scenes, historical buildings, and textured surfaces.

This pigment is known for its excellent opacity and smooth application, allowing artists to create both bold, saturated washes and soft, subtle layers with ease. When used in concentrated form, Venetian Red Oxide produces deep, vibrant reds, while diluted applications yield softer, muted tones that are perfect for creating shadows and atmospheric effects. Its versatility makes it an essential colour for achieving a range of artistic effects, from strong highlights to delicate gradients.

Venetian Red Oxide boasts impressive lightfastness, ensuring that its rich colour remains stable and vibrant over time, preserving the integrity of artworks. It mixes beautifully with other colours, creating warm browns when blended with yellows or deep, muted tones when combined with blues. Whether used for intricate detailing or expansive washes, Venetian Red Oxide (140m) adds warmth, depth, and a timeless quality to any watercolour palette, making it a favourite among artists seeking to capture the richness of nature and history in their work.
